AV flagging the occasional BOINC Task as "suspicious"

I've been folding via F@H and BOINC since roughly February...only recently on occasion I've been getting notifications from my AV that the occasional WU is suspicious.  So far I've had one from PrimeGrid and another from Gerasim flagged.

I'm like 99.999999% these are false positives, but again, this is also the first time I've seen this occur.  Has anyone else seen this happen on occasion?  Just curious.

 

My computer hasn't suddenly locked up, no other strange processed, and my files are only encrypted and named where and how I want them to be (no ransomware).  I'm still BOINCing these WUs as they keep giving me that sweet, sweet e-rep.

Whitelist it manually

Yeah, that's what I do unless I just ignore the notification.  Posting was mainly to see if anyone else with their varied AV clients ever got the same thing.
